Some sample questions from this category:

* This woman was thrown out of the Massachusetts Bay Colony for heresy. She lost her life, as did most of the rest of her family, in an Indian raid in what is now the state of New York.
* Few people have ever heard of me outside of Pennsylvania (I'd even go so far as to say outside of Philadelphia!). I'm not known for anything I did, but for my connection to my father. My doll is on display in a museum in--where else?--Philadelphia!
* Which First Lady was known for her early efforts to beautify America?
* Who was the first published American poet in the New World?
* This woman was at the center of the Antinomian crisis. She battled intellectually with the formidable Governor of New England, John Winthrop. Now there is a statue of her in Boston. She shares a first name with an early American poet. Who is she?
